The latest data from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics shows that nearly 20% of Americans aged 65 and up are working right now, reports Ben Steverman. And because of the huge size of the baby boomer generation, this means the US now has the largest number of older workers ever.

Folks have cited various reasons for delaying retirement. Some said they needed to keep earning money and/or benefits, while others said they enjoyed their jobs and “wanted to stay involved,” reports Steverman.

A new survey from Lake Forest, Ill.-based Spectrem Group found that high-net-worth men were slightly more risk tolerant than women. 44% of men surveyed were willing to take risk on a portion of their investments in the hopes of better returns, while only 30% of women said the same, reports Christopher Robbins.

Moreover, 44% of HNW men said they would invest in individual stocks, while only 37% of women said the same.

“Soon after [Argentina’s] new government took office, rating agencies upgraded their outlook for the country from negative to stable as a result of the swift changes from the previous government’s economic policies, including the elimination of currency controls and the reduction of exporting tariffs,” wrote Franklin Templeton Investment’s Mark Mobius.

“These actions indicated the new government was rejecting the public-sector interventionism that hurt exports and reduced foreign-exchange earnings. Even more important than this vote of confidence was the ability of the new government to reach agreement on defaulted foreign debt the prior administration had refused to pay and had locked the country out of the international debt markets.”

Raymond James recruited David Richman, a former RIA market director, as a branch manager, reports Nicholas Yeap.
